Flutterby™! : Acts of the Apostles

I mentioned that Phil and I had both bought Acts of the Apostles at LinuxWorld Expo. Finished reading it last night. I think Phil liked it more than I did, he compared it to Cryptonomicon, I thought it was a reasonably enjoyable techno-thriller written by someone at least as technically savvy as me. However, it is obviously the first novel John FX Sundman has written, the dialog is a little stilted at times, and the payoff felt a little weak. But if you're looking for a techno-thriller that won't insult your intelligence the way, say, a Michael Crichton tale does, this one does a pretty good job of keeping the real tech real, accurately rendering the Silicon Valley personalities we all know, even if the names are changed, and moving in plausible ways. There's a /. review, and a Google search turns up plenty more reviews.
